Have you been looking though your phones’ lenses more than with your own eyes? No, we won’t start a rant about social media breaks or suggesting to stop taking photos and videos of precious moments...but one New Years resolution to consider is to simply be more present and aware of how often you are looking at your smart phone, insisting on documenting every second. Being avid travelers certainly has us whipping our iPhones out on the regular, but in this last trip to France we made sure to also keep the phone in our pocket and just BE. Our posts didn’t have to be live, a once per day post before bed was plenty. We have found we love to share but it can take away from what we are actually doing in the moment.

Let 2019 be the year you find your balance, collecting memories in your mind as well as the Cloud. ☁️

There is nothing like the look in kids’ eyes when meeting their favorite Disney characters. Yesterday spending a day with 3 5-year-old girls giddy to chat with princesses, dance with Mickey and Minnie and gaze in a magical daze at the parade leaves us in amazement and awe ourselves of an innocence we need to dig down and rediscover in ourselves. What a beautiful day in so many more ways than we could count on. 💓

How we see ourselves depends on where we are looking, and that only matters so much, it’s far more than skin-deep - “Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change of attitude.” K. Mansfield

#waybackwednesday to 2 years ago. Our first Christmas together. Today we found a 2016 Christmas ornament frame that we never filled that sparked a search of photos from December 2016. Thank goodness for digital photos!!!! Loved the trip down memory lane! ❤️ 🎄

This is us! Our little blended family of love. The holidays not only remind us of togetherness, but if the careful balancing of happy, what truly matters, and love. December is looking packed full of fun, joy, travel and...balance! We are beginning to not only plan those exciting go go gothings, but downtime and exercise to be sure we stay sane 😜 we hope you do the same!!
